It does help because the water just goes right over you legs smoothly without being stoped by the hair.

It helps, yet it only speeds up ur time, as in districts/regionals/state, if do not shave at meets or practicing before hand.

Leg hair absorbs 10 % of its weight in water there fore more resistance when moving thru the water. Also the feeling you get of your position in the water is increased by 45% and the mental effects are enormus. If you feel faster you will be faster
